Through this initiative, we want to spread the message that Hyderabad truly cares for its people," said Viiveck Verma, Curator and Licensee of TEDxHyderabad on the conclusion of the event.

"TEDxHyderabad is not just an event, but an experience. We will continue to work with entrepreneurs and innovators from the rural parts of Hyderabad to let them showcase their innovation. We are happy to bring together more and more unsung heroes to share their inspiring stories with you," said Dr Anthony Vipin Das, co-organizer of TEDxHyderabad.
